Introduction and Review Process 1.1 On 8th April 2011 the Environment Highways and Waste Policy Overview and Scrutiny Committee (POSC), agreed the terms of reference of a review of the Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) service. The POSC agreed that an Informal Member Group (IMG) should guide the review. The Informal Member Group comprised: Councillors John Cubitt (chair), Mike Harrison, Steve Manion, Malcolm Robertson, and Elizabeth Tweed 1.2 The Informal Members Group reported the review findings back to POSC on 27 September 2011. The Committee supported the findings and referred the matter for public consultation. The report from the Informal Members Group considered in detail the options for change relating to the operating policy of the sites and the household waste recycling centre network. The financial implications of the changes were confirmed as being consistent with the medium term financial plan and the current capital programme. It was resolved that the recommendations of the Informal Members Group were supported. Page 9 1.3 Following the end of the public consultation on 9 February 2012, the Informal Members’ Group met on 21 February 2012 to consider the outcomes, which have led to the recommendations in this report. 1.4 This decision report is structured as follows. Section Heading Page No. 1 Introduction and Review process 1 2 Current arrangements 2 3 Public Consultation & Equalities Impact 4 Assessment 4 HWRC: Operating policy 4 5 HWRC: Current network provision 9 6 HWRC: Future network provision 13 7 Operational Risk Management 18 8 Financial Considerations 19 9 Recommendations 19 2. Current arrangements 2.1 As the waste disposal authority for Kent, Kent County Council has a statutory obligation under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 “for places to be provided at which persons resident in its area may deposit their household waste and for the disposal of waste so deposited”. There is no duty to receive trade waste and the household waste recycling centres are not licensed to do so. 2.2 The Act does not specify how many sites, the ratio of sites to households, or travel times. Most of the population of Kent is within a 20 minute drive of a HWRC. 2.3 Kent has 19 HWRCs, of which 6 are co-located with waste transfer stations. The sites are located largely as a reflection of historic factors, particularly in respect of those locations which are associated with closed landfill sites. Their distribution does, however, broadly reflect the centres of population in the county. 2.4 Map 1 below shows the network of transfer stations and household waste recycling centres across Kent with drive times. Page 10 Page 11 Map 1: Location of Household Waste Recycling Centres and Waste Transfer Stations, including journey times. 3. Public Consultation and Equalities Impact Assessment 3.1 Following the POSC meeting on 27 September 2011, a 10 week public consultation commenced on 1 December 2011 and ran until 9 February 2012 on options for change.

  • The Skinners' School, Tunbridge Wells
    THE SKINNERS’ SCHOOL, TUNBRIDGE WELLS ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE ADMISSION OF PUPILS TO THE SCHOOL FROM SEPTEMBER 2021 A. General The School intends to offer 160 places each year for boys aged 11. This is the Pupil Admission Number (PAN). Boys will normally be admitted at age 11, and also to the Sixth Form. Selection is through Kent County Council’s Procedure for Entrance to Secondary Education (PESE), the “Kent Test”. All pupils must be boys assessed suitable for grammar school through the Kent PESE (11+). Due to the Covid- 19 pandemic, the following amendments have been implemented by Kent County Council to the test arrangements: 1. To change the date that pupils attending Kent schools will be tested from 10 September 2020 to 15 October 2020. 2. To change the date that pupils attending non-Kent schools will be tested from 12 September 2020 to dates from 17 October 2020. 3. To change the date that pupils will be provided results from 15 October 2020 to “by 26 November 2020”, acknowledging that this may be subject to change if subsequent Covid-19 related issues arise. In the event of a further lockdown preventing the test taking place on this date we will post the revised test date on the school’s website as soon as it is known. For boys aged 12 or more seeking a place through casual entrance procedures, evidence obtained in examination of ability to keep pace with the work of the School will justify consideration for admission. Such pupils will only be admitted when the number of pupils in the relevant year group falls below the PAN.

  • Appendix 4 Community Governance Review Sevenoaks District
    Appendix 4 Community Governance Review Sevenoaks District Council’s Draft Recommendations Introduction 1. The Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act (LGPIH) 2007 devolved the power to take decisions relating to the creation or abolition of parishes, the boundaries of parishes and the electoral arrangements of parish councils from the Secretary of State and the Electoral Commission to principal councils. With effect from February 2008, district councils have had the responsibility for undertaking community governance reviews (formerly known as parish reviews) and have been able to decide whether to give effect to recommendations made in those reviews. In making that decision, councils need to take account of the views of local people. 2. Councils are required to have regard to guidance issued by the Secretary of State and the Electoral Commission. Guidance suggests that it is good practice for a principal council to consider conducting a review every 10- 15 years. In Sevenoaks, the last review was completed in 1999 and so it is timely to conduct a fresh review. There is an opportunity now, ahead of any scheduled elections, to conduct this review and have any recommendations implemented at the next full parish council elections in May 2015. At a meeting of the Electoral Arrangements Committee on 27 th October 2011 it was recommended that a community governance review be undertaken in respect of the whole of the Sevenoaks District Council area; Council ratified the Committee’s decision. The Sevenoaks District Council Approach 3. At previous parish reviews, Sevenoaks District Council has taken the view that it is for local people or local groups to suggest changes to the existing set-up.

  • Review of Polling Districts, Polling Places and Polling Stations : Consultation Document
    Review of polling districts, polling places and polling stations : Consultation document Introduction All district councils are required to complete a review of polling districts and polling places every five years, ahead of scheduled Parliamentary General Elections. This particular review must, by law, be completed by 31 January 2020, although best practice dictates it should be concluded, where practicable, in advance of the publication of the next revised Register of Electors on 1 December 2019 to enable any changes to take effect from that date. The purpose of the review is to ensure electors are given “such reasonable facilities for voting as are practicable in the circumstances.” As part of the statutory review, contributions from the (Acting) Returning Officers for the Parliamentary Constituencies that represent the district should be sought. As such, Sevenoaks District Council has consulted with the (Acting) Returning Officers for the Dartford, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge & Malling constituencies, and their contributions are included within this consultation document. This consultation document contains an assessment of existing and proposed polling districts and polling places within the district. Commenting on the proposed recommendations We welcome the views of all residents, particularly disabled residents, or any person or body with expertise in access for persons with any type of disability, on the proposals within this consultation document. Anyone making representations should, if relevant, give alternative places that may be used as polling places. The consultation period runs from 31 July 2019 to 1 October 2019. Any changes are expected to take effect from the publication of the new Register of Electors on 1 December 2019.

  • Tunbridge Wells Girls' Grammar School (TWGGS) Complies with the Co-Ordinated Admission Scheme Which Is Administered by Kent Local Authority
    Tunbridge Wells Girls’ Grammar School Admission of Pupils to the School Year 7 Admissions: September 2022 Tunbridge Wells Girls' Grammar School (TWGGS) complies with the Co-ordinated Admission Scheme which is administered by Kent Local Authority. Detailed information about the school is available in the prospectus which can be found on the school website www.twggs.kent.sch.uk. Children are normally admitted at age 11, when all pupils must be assessed suitable for admission to grammar school through the Kent’s assessment process (PESE) and have placed TWGGS on their Kent Secondary Common Application Form, in order to be eligible for admission. Details of the Kent PESE are available from the Kent County Council booklet “Admission to Secondary School in Kent”. If the school receives more applications than places available, there is no guarantee of a place to all eligible applicants. The Published Admissions Number is 145; 14 are Governors’ Places, which will be allocated according to criterion 7. The school is usually over-subscribed. Before the application of oversubscription criteria children with a Statement of Special Educational Need or Education, Health and Care Plan which names the school and who are eligible for admission to this academically selective school will be admitted. As a result of this, the Published Admissions Number will be reduced accordingly. If the number of preferences is greater than the number of places available, the following criteria for over-subscription will be applied in priority order: 1. Children in Local Authority Care or Previously in Local Authority Care – a 'looked after child' or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or special guardianship order.
